restatements by public companies. According to Glass Lewis&nbsp;&amp; Co., an institutional investor advisory firm, the number of financial restatements by U.S. public companies reached 1,195 in 2005, an increase of 95% from 2004. In response to a
number of recent incidences of corporate malfeasance and accounting irregularities, the SEC has conducted an increasing number of public company investigations over the past few years. For fiscal 2008, the President&#146;s budget request for the SEC
is $905.3&nbsp;million, a 3.2% increase over the $877.1&nbsp;million funding level. In addition, an increasing number of boards of directors, audit committees and special independent committees of companies that have had to review their historical
financials or respond to complaints by whistleblowers have conducted internal forensic investigations to determine the underlying facts. These dynamics have driven demand for independent financial consultants like us who help clients respond to SEC
investigations, evaluate restatements of financial statements and support internal investigations by combining investigative accounting and financial reporting skills with business and practical experience. </FONT></P></TD></TR></TABLE> <P

companies in the areas of mergers and acquisitions, pricing policies, distribution relationships and patent and intellectual property matters. In addition, private parties can bring antitrust claims asserting a variety of violations. In complex
litigation and disputes, organizations and the law firms that represent them regularly engage experienced consultants to provide or support expert testimony or perform data analyses involving financial, economic and accounting issues.

perceived conflicts of interest, have opposed the ratification of auditors and the election of directors of companies that engage their auditors to perform permissible non-audit services. The restrictions of Sarbanes-Oxley, stockholder opposition to
auditors performing consulting services for their audit clients and the relatively small number of large public accounting firms has led many clients to choose independent consulting firms over the Big Four when seeking providers of various

may not be able to successfully manage a significantly larger workforce. Additionally, our considerable growth has placed demands on our management and our internal systems, procedures and controls and will continue to do so in the future. To
successfully manage growth, we must add administrative staff and periodically update and strengthen our operating, financial, accounting and other systems, procedures and controls, which will increase our costs and may adversely affect our gross
profits and our ability to sustain profitability if we do not generate increased revenues to offset the costs. This need to augment our support infrastructure due to growth is compounded by our decision to become a public reporting company and the
increased expense that has arisen in complying with existing and new regulatory requirements. As a public company, our information and control systems must enable us to prepare accurate and timely financial information and other required disclosure.
If we discover deficiencies in our existing information and control systems that impede our ability to satisfy our reporting requirements, we must successfully implement improvements to those systems in an efficient and timely manner. </FONT></P> <P

derive, a significant portion of our revenues from a limited number of clients. Our ten largest clients accounted for 31.2%, 38.3% and 27.8% of our revenues for the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Revenues from one
client accounted for 10.2% of our revenues in 2006 while revenues from another client accounted for 11.1% of our revenues in 2005. No single client accounted for more than 10.0% of our revenues in 2004. Our clients typically retain us on an
engagement-by-engagement basis, rather than under fixed-term contracts; the volume of work performed for any particular client is likely to vary from year to year and a major client in one fiscal period may not require or decide to use our services
in any subsequent fiscal period. Moreover, a large portion of our new engagements comes from existing clients. Accordingly, the failure to obtain new large engagements or multiple engagements from existing or new clients could have a material
adverse effect on the amount of revenues we generate. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2">In addition,
almost all of our engagement agreements can be terminated by our clients with little or no notice and without penalty. For example, in engagements related to litigation, if the litigation were to be settled, our engagement for those services would
no longer be necessary and therefore would be terminated. In client engagements that involve multiple engagements or stages, there is a risk that a client may choose not to retain us for additional stages of an engagement or that a client will
cancel or delay additional planned engagements. For clients in bankruptcy, a bankruptcy court could elect not to retain our interim management consultants, terminate our retention, require us to reduce our fees for the duration of an engagement or
approve claims against fees earned by us prior to or after the bankruptcy filing. For example, shortly after we acquired Speltz&nbsp;&amp; Weis LLC, its largest client, which accounted for approximately 82.8% of its 2004 revenues and which accounted
for approximately $14.5&nbsp;million, or 7.0%, of our revenues in the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2005, filed for bankruptcy. While the Bankruptcy Court approved our retention, it did so subject to certain fee reductions that we negotiated with the
client and certain other interested parties. Depending on the outcome of the bankruptcy proceeding, we may not receive the full amount of these negotiated amounts. Moreover, several parties to the bankruptcy case have reserved their right to
challenge fees earned by us and Speltz&nbsp;&amp; Weis LLC prior to the bankruptcy filing on July&nbsp;5, 2005. Although no such claim has been brought to date, if a claim is brought in the future, the claim could have a material adverse impact on
our financial position, results of operations, earnings per share or cash flows in the period in which such claim were resolved. Terminations of engagements, cancellations of portions of the project plan, delays in the work schedule or reductions in
fees could result from factors unrelated to our services. When engagements are terminated or reduced, we lose the associated future revenues, and we may not be able to recover associated costs or redeploy the affected employees in a timely manner to
minimize the negative impact. In addition, our clients&#146; ability to terminate engagements with little or no notice and without penalty makes it difficult to predict our operating results in any particular fiscal period. </FONT></P> <P

consulting firms, the consulting practices of major accounting firms, technical and economic advisory firms, regional and specialty consulting firms and the internal professional resources of organizations. In addition, because there are relatively
low barriers to entry, we expect to continue to face additional competition from new entrants into the business operations and financial consulting industries. We have offices in the United States and do not have any international offices. Many of
our competitors have a greater national presence and are also international in scope, as well as have significantly greater personnel, financial, technical and marketing resources. In addition, these competitors may generate greater revenues and
have greater name recognition than we do. Our ability to compete also depends in part on the ability of our competitors to hire, retain and motivate skilled professionals, the price at which others offer comparable services and our competitors&#146;
responsiveness to their clients. If we are unable to compete successfully with our existing competitors or with any new competitors, our financial results will be adversely affected. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

11.8% of our revenues for the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. When making proposals for fixed-fee engagements, we estimate the costs and timing for completing the engagements. These estimates reflect our best
judgment regarding the efficiencies of our methodologies and consultants as we plan to deploy them on engagements. Any increased or unexpected costs or unanticipated delays in connection with the performance of fixed-fee engagements, including
delays caused by factors outside our control, could make these contracts less profitable or unprofitable, which would have an adverse effect on our profit margin. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

strategic sourcing practices, we enter into engagement agreements under which our fees include a significant performance-based component. Performance-based fees are contingent on the achievement of specific measures, such as our clients meeting
cost-saving or other contractually defined goals. The achievement of these contractually-defined goals is often impacted by factors outside of our control, such as the actions of our client or third parties. Because performance-based fees are
contingent, revenues on such engagements, which are recognized when all revenue recognition criteria are met, are not certain and the timing of receipt is difficult to predict and may not occur evenly throughout the year. While performance-based
fees comprised 2.8%, 3.7% and 5.1% of our revenues for the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, we intend to continue to enter into performance-based fee arrangements and these engagements may impact our revenues to a
greater extent in the future. Should performance-based fee arrangements represent a greater percentage of our business in the future, we may experience increased volatility in our working capital requirements and greater variations in our
quarter-to-quarter results, which could affect the price of our common stock. In addition, an increase in the proportion of performance-based fee arrangements may temporarily offset the positive effect on our operating results from increases in our
utilization rate or average billing rate per hour. For example, net deferrals of $1.4&nbsp;million of performance-based fees for services rendered had the effect of reducing our average billing rate per hour for the third quarter of 2005 by $6,
while net recognition of $1.1&nbsp;million of performance-based fees had the effect of increasing our average billing rate per hour for the fourth quarter of 2005 by $5. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

Valley marketplace and, in September 2003, we established a small office in Miami, Florida to deepen our corporate finance capabilities. These offices did not meet our expectations and, therefore, we subsequently closed those offices and incurred a
restructuring charge of $2.1 million in 2004. Also in 2004, we decided to eliminate a service offering of a practice area in our operational consulting segment that was not meeting our expectations and incurred a restructuring charge of
$1.3&nbsp;million. If we cannot manage the risks associated with new service offerings or new locations effectively, we are unlikely to be successful in these efforts, which could harm our ability to sustain profitability and our business prospects.

management and could damage our reputation. We are not always able to include provisions in our engagement agreements that are designed to limit our exposure to legal claims relating to our services. Even if these limiting provisions are included in
an engagement agreement, they may not protect us or may not be enforceable under some circumstances. In addition, we carry professional liability insurance to cover many of these types of claims, but the policy limits and the breadth of coverage may
be inadequate to cover any particular claim or all claims plus the cost of legal defense. For example, we provide services on engagements in which the impact on a client may substantially exceed the limits of our errors and omissions insurance
coverage. If we are found to have professional liability with respect to work performed on such an engagement, we may not have sufficient insurance to cover the entire liability. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

transition period for new professionals that results in a temporary drop in our utilization rate. Our utilization rate can also be affected by seasonal variations in the demand for our services from our clients. For example, during the third and
fourth quarters of the year, vacations taken by our clients can result in the deferral of spending on existing and new engagements, which would negatively affect our utilization rate. The number of business work days are also affected by the number

engagements, are included in total revenues and reimbursable expenses, and typically an equivalent amount of these expenses are included in total direct costs and reimbursable expenses. Reimbursable expenses also include subcontractors that are
billed to our clients at cost. The amount of reimbursable expenses included in total revenues and reimbursable expenses may not always correspond with the amount of these expenses included in total direct costs and reimbursable expenses due to the
fact that revenues from reimbursable expenses associated with performance-based engagements may be deferred and recognized at a later date when the revenue on these engagements is recognized. This treatment can result in a timing difference between
when revenue from reimbursable expenses is recognized and when such expenses are recognized in the statement of operations. Such timing differences are eliminated when the performance-based engagement is completed, as total cumulative revenues from
reimbursable expenses will equal the total cumulative reimbursable expenses incurred on the engagement. We manage our business on the basis of revenues before reimbursable expenses. We believe this is the most accurate reflection of our services
because it eliminates the effect of these reimbursable expenses that we bill to our clients at cost. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

United States, or GAAP. The notes to our consolidated financial statements include disclosure of our significant accounting policies. We review our financial reporting and disclosure practices and accounting policies to ensure that our financial
reporting and disclosures provide accurate information relative to the current economic and business environment. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make assessments, estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Critical
accounting policies are those policies that we believe present the most complex or subjective measurements and have the most potential to impact our financial position and operating results. While all decisions regarding accounting policies are
important, we believe that there are five accounting policies that could be considered critical. These critical policies relate to revenue recognition, allowances for doubtful accounts and unbilled services, carrying values of goodwill and other
intangible assets, valuation of net deferred tax assets and share-based compensation. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="ARIAL"

with Staff Accounting Bulletin, or SAB, No.&nbsp;101, &#147;Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements,&#148; as amended by SAB No.&nbsp;104, &#147;Revenue Recognition.&#148; Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,
the related services are provided, the price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Our services are primarily rendered under arrangements that require the client to pay based on the hours incurred by our
revenue-generating professionals, the number of pages reviewed by our document review group, or the amount of data processed by our electronic data discovery group at agreed-upon rates and recognized as services are provided. Revenues related to
fixed-fee engagements are recognized based on estimates of work completed versus the total services to be provided under the engagement. Losses, if any, on fixed-fee engagements are recognized in the period in which the loss first becomes probable
and reasonably estimable. To date, such losses have not been significant. Revenues related to performance-based engagements are recognized when all performance-based criteria are met. We also have contracts with clients to deliver multiple services
that are covered under both individual and separate engagement letters. These arrangements allow for our services to be valued and accounted for on a separate basis. Reimbursable expenses related to time-and-expense and fixed-fee engagements are
recognized as revenue in the period in which the expense is incurred. Reimbursable expenses subject to performance-based criteria are recognized as revenue when all performance criteria are met. Direct costs incurred on all types of engagements,
including performance-based engagements, are recognized in the period in which incurred. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

unbilled services. Amounts billed to clients but not yet recognized as revenues are recorded as deferred revenue. Client prepayments and retainers that are unearned are also classified as deferred revenue and recognized over future periods as earned
in accordance with the applicable engagement agreement. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Our goodwill balance as of December&nbsp;31, 2006 was $53.3 million, which resulted from our acquisitions. Pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or
SFAS, No.&nbsp;142, &#147;Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,&#148; we test goodwill for impairment annually or whenever indications of impairment arise, such as loss of key personnel, unanticipated competition, or other unforeseen developments.
Impairment exists when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, resulting in an impairment charge for this excess. An impairment test involves considerable management judgment and estimates regarding future operating results
and cash flows. Pursuant to our policy, we performed the annual goodwill assessment as of April&nbsp;30, 2006 and determined that no impairment of goodwill existed as of that date. Further, no indications of impairment have arisen since that date.

substance but can be distinguished from goodwill. Our intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization, totaled $4.2 million at December&nbsp;31, 2006 and consist of customer contracts, customer relationships, non-competition agreements and
technology and software. We use valuation techniques in estimating the initial fair value of acquired intangible assets. These valuations are primarily based on the present value of the estimated net cash flows expected to be derived from the client
relationships, discounted for assumptions about future customer attrition. We evaluate our intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable.
Therefore, higher or earlier-than-expected customer attrition may result in higher future amortization charges or an impairment charge for customer-related intangible assets. For example, during the third quarter of 2005, we wrote off a portion of
the intangible assets pertaining to a customer contract as described in &#147;Client Bankruptcy Case&#148; below. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

early in our history, no valuation allowance has been recorded relating to these deferred tax assets because we believe that it is more likely than not that future taxable income will be sufficient to allow us to utilize these assets. Should we
determine in the future that we will not be able to fully utilize all or part of these deferred tax assets, we would need to establish a valuation allowance, which would be recorded as a charge to income in the period the determination was made.
While utilization of these deferred tax assets will provide future cash flow benefits, they will not have an effect on future income tax provisions. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

&#147;Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes&#151;an interpretation of FASB Statement No.&nbsp;109.&#148; FIN No.&nbsp;48 provides a comprehensive model for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure in the financial statements of uncertain
tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. We adopted FIN No.&nbsp;48 effective beginning on January&nbsp;1, 2007. The adoption of this interpretation did not have a cumulative material impact on our financial statements. We are

Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.&#148; SAB No.&nbsp;108 was issued to address diversity in practice in quantifying financial statement misstatements. Current practice allows for the evaluation of materiality on the basis of either
(1)&nbsp;the error quantified as the amount by which the current year income statement was misstated (&#147;rollover method&#148;) or (2)&nbsp;the cumulative error quantified as the cumulative amount by which the current year balance sheet was
misstated (&#147;iron curtain method&#148;). The guidance provided in SAB 108 requires both methods to be used in evaluating materiality (&#147;dual approach&#148;). SAB No.&nbsp;108 permits companies to initially apply its provisions either by
(1)&nbsp;restating prior financial statements as if the dual approach had always been used or (2)&nbsp;recording the cumulative effect of initially applying the &#147;dual approach&#148; as adjustments to the carrying values of assets and
liabilities as of January&nbsp;1, 2006 with an offsetting adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings. There were no matters warranting our consideration under the provisions of SAB No.&nbsp;108 and, therefore, it did not have an
impact on our financial position, results of operations, earnings per share or cash flows. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

application of this statement may change current practice. SFAS No.&nbsp;157 will be effective for us beginning on January&nbsp;1, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this statement may have on our financial position,

in the period ended December&nbsp;31, 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company&#146;s management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit of financial statements includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Framework</I> issued by the COSO. The Company&#146;s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our
responsibility is to express opinions on management&#146;s assessment and&nbsp;on the effectiveness of the Company&#146;s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit of internal control over financial
reporting in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over
financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. An audit of internal control over financial reporting includes obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management&#146;s assessment, testing and
evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we consider necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions. </FONT></P> <P

collectibility is reasonably assured. These services are primarily rendered under arrangements that require the client to pay based on the hours incurred by our revenue-generating professionals, the number of pages reviewed by our document review
group, or the amount of data processed by our electronic data discovery group at agreed-upon rates and recognized as services are provided. Revenues related to fixed-fee engagements are recognized based on estimates of work completed versus the
total services to be provided under the engagement. Losses, if any, on fixed-fee engagements are recognized in the period in which the loss first becomes probable and reasonably estimable. The Company also earns revenues on a performance-based fee
basis and recognizes such revenues when all performance criteria are met. The Company also has contracts with clients to deliver multiple services that are covered under both individual and separate engagement letters. These arrangements allow for
the Company&#146;s services to be valued and accounted for on a separate basis. Direct costs incurred on engagements, including performance-based fee engagements, are expensed in the period incurred. </FONT></P> <P

subject to performance-based criteria are recognized as revenue when all performance criteria are met. Subcontractors that are billed to clients at cost are also included in reimbursable expenses. </FONT></P> <P

January&nbsp;1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No.&nbsp;123R, &#147;Share-based Payment,&#148; using the modified prospective application transition method. Under this method, compensation cost for the portion of awards for which
the requisite service has not yet been rendered that are outstanding as of the adoption date is recognized over the remaining service period. The compensation cost for that portion of awards is based on the grant-date fair value of those awards as
calculated for pro forma disclosures under SFAS No.&nbsp;123, as originally issued. All new awards and awards that are modified, repurchased or cancelled after the adoption date are accounted for under the provisions of SFAS No.&nbsp;123R. Prior
periods have not been restated under this transition method. The Company recognizes share-based compensation ratably using the straight-line attribution method over the requisite service period. In addition, pursuant to SFAS No.&nbsp;123R, the
Company estimates the amount of expected forfeitures when calculating share-based compensation, instead of accounting for forfeitures as they occur, which was the Company&#146;s practice prior to the adoption of SFAS No.&nbsp;123R. As of
January&nbsp;1, 2006, the cumulative effect of adopting the estimated forfeiture method was not material. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

&#147;Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes&#151;an interpretation of FASB Statement No.&nbsp;109.&#148; FIN No.&nbsp;48 provides a comprehensive model for the recognition, measurement and disclosure in the financial statements of uncertain tax
positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The Company adopted FIN No.&nbsp;48 effective beginning on January&nbsp;1, 2007. The adoption of this interpretation did not have a material impact on the Company&#146;s financial statements.

Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.&#148; SAB No.&nbsp;108 was issued to address diversity in practice in quantifying financial statement misstatements. Current practice allows for the evaluation of
materiality on the basis of either (1)&nbsp;the error quantified as the amount by which the current year income statement was misstated (&#147;rollover method&#148;) or (2)&nbsp;the cumulative error quantified as the cumulative amount by which the
current year balance sheet was misstated (&#147;iron curtain method&#148;). The guidance provided in SAB 108 requires both methods to be used in evaluating materiality (&#147;dual approach&#148;). SAB No.&nbsp;108 permits companies to initially
apply its provisions either by (1)&nbsp;restating prior financial statements as if the dual approach had always been used or (2)&nbsp;recording the cumulative effect of initially applying the &#147;dual approach&#148; as adjustments to the carrying
values of assets and liabilities as of January&nbsp;1, 2006 with an offsetting adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings. There were no matters warranting the Company&#146;s consideration under the provisions of SAB

to a participant&#146;s deferred compensation account in accordance with employment or other agreements entered into between the Company and the participant. The Company, at its sole discretion, may, but is not required to, credit any additional
amount it desires to any participant&#146;s deferred compensation account. Amounts credited by the Company are subject to vesting schedules set forth in the Plan, employment agreement or any other agreement entered into between the Company and the
participant. The deferred compensation liability at December&nbsp;31, 2006 was $0.6&nbsp;million. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="ARIAL"

initial public offering, the Company adopted the 2004 Omnibus Stock Plan (the &#147;Omnibus Plan&#148;), which replaced the Company&#146;s then-existing equity plans for grants of share-based awards. The Omnibus Plan permits the grant of stock
options, restricted stock, and other share-based awards valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, the Company&#146;s common stock. Under the Omnibus Plan, as originally adopted, a total of 2,141,000 shares of common stock
were reserved for issuance to eligible employees, executive officers, independent contractors and outside directors. The Plan was amended effective as of May&nbsp;2, 2006 to increase the number of shares of common stock available for issuance by
2,100,000. As of December&nbsp;31, 2006, 2,305,605 shares remain available for future issuance. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

over 4 years. All stock options have a ten-year contractual term. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2">The

potentially may be paid could be significant. Additional purchase consideration earned by certain sellers totaled $8.0&nbsp;million for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2006. No additional purchase consideration was earned by any sellers for the
